    🚬 Did Woody Harrelson’s Dad Kill JFK? The Wild True Crime Conspiracy You Need to Hear | Smoke & Mirrors Podcast
    Mar 25 2025
    The podcast episode revolves around the infamous story of Charles Harrelson, a notorious hitman and father of actor Woody Harrelson, and the conspiracy theory suggesting his involvement in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Brian Brown discusses Harrelson's criminal background before diving into the speculation about his connection to JFK's murder, largely hinging on his shocking admission during a 1980 standoff with police that he killed JFK—although he later dismissed this as an attempt to prolong his life. Brown also examines the 'three tramps' photo taken from Dealey Plaza after the assassination, where theorists have suggested a resemblance between Harrelson and one of the figures captured. Finally, Brown reviews declassified JFK files to seek any meaningful connections to Harrelson but finds no concrete evidence. Despite compelling speculation and Harrelson's own unreliable statements, the official narrative stands: Charles Harrelson did not kill JFK.
